1. Define the WIG 🎯: What’s Our Wildly Important Goal (WIG)?

Let’s clarify the most important outcome we want to achieve in the next 90 days.

👉 Use this format: “From X to Y by Z”

📌 This should be specific, measurable, and time-bound.

Examples: “Grow our weekly leads from 20 to 60 by October 30”

Write a note
2. Identify Lead Measures 📊

WIGs lag behind action. Let’s list the key lead measures — the high-impact actions we can control that drive progress.

👉 What are the 1–2 activities we must do consistently to achieve the WIG?

📌 Example: “Follow up with 10 leads per week,” “Publish 2 blog posts weekly”

Evaluation

7 steps
  1. 1

    What is our current way of executing? Is it defined — or just happening by inertia?

  2. 2

    Is your action plan or strategy sitting in a PowerPoint presentation or just a list of tasks? If yes, that’s an intention, not a strategy.

  3. 3

    Do we have a visible system that keeps us focused, brings everyone together, makes it clear who’s working on what, when, and how we collaborate — and empowers teams to move forward with confidence?

  4. 4

    Do these systems and processes help guide people, or are you relying on meetings and constant explanations?

  5. 5

    Is it working — or does your team keep making mistakes and never seem to fully understand the/your expectations?

  6. 6

    Do we have a set of habits that help the team move forward and create a good rhythm?

  7. 7

    The 🦸👲🧙‍♂‍🦹‍♀‍🧛‍♀‍ best teams aren’t just strategic.
